Review La Marina - Airlie Beach

By far the best restaurant in Airlie Beach! The staff were so friendly and accomodating. The meals were the best Italian we have ever had. Deserves a 10/10! If you are looking for a beautiful place with amazing food, highly recommend. Also overlooks the boats and water so all a bonus.

Amazing view of the marina, delicious food and great service. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Amazing food. I had the ravioli and it was incredible. Make sure to book ahead as they seemed very busy.

Excellent food. Myself and two friends visited here during a recent trip to Airlie Beach. Starters and pizza were all extremely tasty. One of my friends had the sticky date pudding which he thoroughly enjoyed. Very good portion sizes, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend for dinner whilst visiting the area

Dinner at 8:00pm Waiting 20min Entree : meat ball : perfect Beef : good , Chicken pasta : not bad , not warm enough,

Food tastes great, one of the best meat balls I’ve had. Risotto’s flavour is amazing but some rice is a bit under cooked. Service is good as well. The night we visited was very busy, it took at least 30 minutes for mains to come...

Worst experience ever! We booked a table of 8 on 24/04 at 8.30 pm for our anniversary celebration. First thing we heard from the staff while we were about to sit was “we don’t have vegetarian food” What does that mean? So La marina staff can tell by looking at people faces that who is vegetarian or not ? Sorry mate we all were non vegetarian & that was not the right way to greet customers in your restaurant. Secondly, My 2 year old was bit sick and we requested to move to the next table as it was a covered area and less windy. That insensible fellow told us with a very disturbed & foul look that it is very inconvenient for him to move us to the next table but we will do that just for the sake ( which was vacant & was not reserved further). Then my mother in law just stood up just to check if that covered table is still windy or not ? That same fellow came to her & firmly told her “Please keep some patience and sit on your chair. It’s terrible. Let me clean the table first “ The behaviour was rude and unacceptable . You are in customer service industry and don’t know the basic manners? You speak to an elderly like that? This all happened in 10 mins time frame & we got so upset that we decided to leave the restaurant straight away. We left without saying anything to anyone as we didn’t want to do any argue and spoil our night or Other people’s night as there many other & better restaurants nearby. I have never left any negative reviews before but had to leave a review in this case so that they don’t treat future customers like the way they treated us . No comments on food as we didn’t try but experienced the worst customer service!

We have been frequent diners for years, however, the service has been quite unsatisfactory lately. On our last visit, we booked a table to celebrate our engagement. Our waitress gave us some serviettes for our unbalanced table instead of moving us to a better spot. We then ordered our food which did arrive promptly, however, nobody bothered to come check up on our meals or ask if we wanted any other drinks. We literally waited for everyone else around us to have their tables cleared after we'd finished eating and sat there for ages so didn't bother ordering dessert in the end. Very unfortunate as this has been a favourite spot of ours in the past.
